Once the yeast is frothy it is activated and ready to be used.
Combine all ingredients together and knead until soft and smooth.
Place into a well oiled bowl.
Cover the bowl with a towel and place it in a warm area for 2 hours.
Empty the dough onto a tray and cover it with a towel to let it proof for 1 hour.
Make holes with fingers and add generous amounts of water, salt and olive oil on top.
Bake for 25 min at 200°C.
